July 18, 2012 Father of patient calling regarding his son who developed an illness consisting of cycling fevers and child starting on July 15. On July 12, 2012 the son had applied diluted herbicide to about 1500 acres using a high clearance sprayer and a chemical handler. The cab of the tractor was completely enclosed and had charcoal filtration air filters. The patient also wore a long sleeve shirt and long pants as well as rubber gloved. The son does not recall any instance of product exposure during the application. It was warm the day of the application with temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius. The son was planning on seeing a physician soon. Follow-up on August 15, 2012. The patient continues to suffer from recurring fevers. He was diagnosed with an infection involving chromobacterium violaceum in July. He had recently completed a course of antibiotics and will be continuing to follow-up with his doctors. The treating doctors suspect the patient acquired this infection while he was vacationing in Cuba last February. The role of the fungicide has been completely ruled out.
